Executive Coach In London
Executive Coaching
Become the leader of today and pioneer of the future of business!
Being a leader could be an enriching and fulfilling role yet, at the same time, a challenging and lonely prospect. Overcoming workplace issues, understanding your purpose, and progressing your career must be on top of your priorities list.
However, you are not quite sure how to achieve those goals. An executive career coach is somebody who will provide you with insights, guidance, and practical tools on how you can further your career and become the definition of an inspiring leader in your team's eyes.
But it's more than that. Much more.
Think of Me as Your Leadership Development Coach
My brand of executive coaching targets everything from emotional intelligence to inner motivation. I'm also a big proponent of self-awareness. You can't expect to improve as a business executive if you can't recognise where your strengths and weaknesses lie.
Executive leadership coaching can help you both on a personal and professional level, accelerating the growth of your leadership skills and taking some pressure associated with high-level positions off your shoulders.
Being an executive is so much more than just being a specialist in your field. You have to make difficult decisions daily, and the stakes are higher since you have a lot of co-workers counting on your ability to push the company in the right direction.
There is a lot on the line, and there is a specific set of skills that can help you improve your effectiveness and success rate as a leader, and that is where executive coaching services come in.
But I'm not the kind of executive and life coach in London who will make life easy for you. In fact, I'll push you hard at every opportunity. Your development plan will be very challenging, but it will teach you new soft skills and various techniques aimed at helping you achieve your full potential as an executive and leader.
I will be more than happy to help you with your career development, enhancing your motivation, confidence, and overall performance.
Professional Guidance Begins with an Initial Assessment
Ready for a career transition that will take you to the next level? Contact me today to arrange a free, no-obligation initial consultation. From my office in the Islington/Angel area of London, we'll assess your needs before creating an executive coaching action plan for long-term success.
What Is Executive Coaching?
In my view, executive coaching is all about fulfilling your business and leadership potential. My ultimate goal is to improve your self-awareness—which is the spark for a range of other improvements. I'll use my significant coaching skills and real-world experience to help you drive transformational change, think more critically, and lead with courage.
The right coach can develop existing strengths and turn weaknesses into opportunities for personal growth. It's a lifelong learning process, but coaching from the right person can give you the lifelong traits and processes you need to succeed.
What Do Executive Coaches Do?
Executive coaches typically work with senior leaders in an effort to fulfil their potential. Through a series of one-to-one sessions, self-reflection exercises, and progress tracking, an executive coach will work with a client to improve a range of performance issues:
- The development of key leadership skills
- The improvement of team performance
- Improving emotional intelligence for better professional relationships
- Improving productivity with the help of time management coaching
- Improving communication skills
- Increasing value for key stakeholders
- Conflict resolution skills
By continually providing forthright feedback and monitoring progress, I will help you develop all of these areas and more. The process begins with an initial one-to-two-hour assessment, which we can do either in my Central London office on Prebend Street N1 or via a Zoom call.
Am I the Right Executive Coach for You?
I fulfil all the criteria of being a member of the International Coaching Federation. That said, I have my own, unique approach that is proven to deliver results for senior leaders and senior managers.
My coaching skills were developed over many years—forged in adversity during my time in the world of business. I found that setting key delivery and organizational goals helped me to focus on the big picture. But I also realised that self-awareness was a big issue. That's why one of my underlying beliefs is that the need to uncover blind spots is paramount.
I address issues head-on. I offer support when it's needed, but I'm never afraid to be direct and challenging when the need arises. From personal experience, I understand the power of the direct approach. We'll develop a productive and confidential relationship, but it won't always be easy on you.
Who Can Benefit From Executive Leadership Coaching?
The group of executives that can benefit from leadership and career coaching sessions is quite considerable:
CEOs and Leaders
- Leadership coaching for CEOs is tailored for those at the top of their organisations. Leading effectively is a crucial part of any successful company culture, and coaching can make you highly efficient in that regard.
High-Potentials
- Career progression at the executive level is a somewhat tricky process, as the number of positions is strictly limited. A coach is there to guide and bring out the best of people with high potential and help create the next generation of business leaders.
Board Members
- Executive Coaching at the board level is designed for board members to improve their cooperation and improve the company's decision-making and performance. I work with top leaders in London and beyond to create challenging and thought-provoking action plans that challenge my clients to become the best versions of themselves.
Team Coaching
- Group executive coaching aims to bring individuals together and improve their skills, collective responsibility, and overall awareness. It is a mix of group sessions and one one-on-one meetings that focus specifically on team efficiency.
Why Do You Need Executive Coaching Services?
Executive Coaching has grown quickly over the last couple of years, especially in the UK. It attracts both individuals and organisations mainly because of the promise of enhanced performance and accelerated professional development. It's not just about teaching new skills—it's also about changing mindsets.
It could potentially help with setting both individual and business goals and values and creating strategies to achieve them. Working with an executive coach works in favour of any leader who wants to better his practices and performance.
Even when a company has already sophisticated processes that ensure the best practices are followed, there are for sure members of this system who are struggling to reach peak performance. Busy work schedules, competing priorities, and lack of resources can all hinder executives' productivity levels.
Coaching is the way to organise the chaos associated with being a leader and having a lot of responsibility, which is why it is needed at the top management level.
Improve Your Strategic Planning Skills
Good leadership involves taking the bull by the horns and creating a long-term strategy. Yes, things may need to change along the way, but the best leaders start with a plan and roll with the punches.
Become a Better Senior Leader
Many of my clients are already senior leaders. They turn to me for the insights, support, and guidance needed to lead more effectively and courageously.
Learn How to Change an Organization
One of my most in-demand confidence coaching services involves dealing with and managing change. Too many leaders avoid change—when it's often a positive course of action that can benefit both individuals and large organizations.
Develop Your Emotional Intelligence
Our first session together will involve a discussion and a series of questions—working both ways. I'll assess your personality and emotional intelligence before creating an action plan designed to fine-tune your emotional skills. Over time, our work together will help you assess and manage your colleagues, clients, and subordinates more effectively.
Become More Resilient
Your well-being is just as important to me as your professional development. The most successful leaders are happy at work and at home, so we'll work on ways to boost your overall resilience to issues such as change, setbacks, and negative feedback.
My Approach to Performance Coaching Executives
When working with executives, I focus on exploring your strengths, unique skills and weaknesses. I then apply that knowledge to come up with a set of values and priorities to boost your business performance and overall quality of life—both at work and in the office.
I will provide you with the groundwork for making significant and successful decisions. Together, we will develop a plan to take strategic action that will bring a significant improvement in the way you lead your team and business. Executive Coaching will be the best investment in the prosperous future that you will ever make.
Let's start with a thought-provoking initial consultation—either at my business office in Central London or via a Zoom call. The first step to the career your talent deserves begins with a two-hour meeting. Book yours now.
MY CLIENTS SAY
Jake is a fantastic coach who gets to the core of the issues excellently. He helped me to take drastic steps (they were needed!), which brought me a massive shift in my business and my family life. Now, I work less, earn double that I used to and have more time for my kids. What I like about Jake is that he can be straightforward if needed and when necessary. He is not afraid to ask the difficult (fundamental) questions when the situation calls for them. An outstanding return on investment! Thank you, Jake. See you again soon.
What a tremendous coach. Jake has a very unique and powerful style. His help allowed me to fix my objectives and build a very profitable online business. He pushed me to reach my full potential! I have been motivated and inspired, and have learned powerful tools for my business and personal life. I feel the happiest in my entire life. Thank you so much. You are a huge inspiration, Jake!
Jake has had an enormous effect on my motivation, my decision making and discovering my true potential. Over the past year, I have found my dream job, got out of a toxic relationship, lost weight and started my own part-time business. I found Jake's coaching to be superb and life-changing. The best investment in my life.
When I started coaching with Jake, I was in the darkest depths of my relationship, my business, and my entire life. I was a walking shadow, and I couldn't see any light at the end of the tunnel... However, Jake helped me to turn everything around and put me on the right tracks. His coaching helped me to change how I can see the world. The impact it has had on my business and personal life is priceless. His business ideas are so easy to implement and at the same time very powerful!
Jake's work as a coach has had tremendously positive feedback on my life. I feel like a different person. Working with Jake has helped me to concentrate on my vision, goals and the essential ACTIONS! Without a doubt, he has helped me achieve more in a few months than I did in the last five years. I am a different person now compared to when I initially started my coaching sessions with Jake.
The only thing I can say is a "huge thank you, Jake"! I already had the right tools in place to create a good income. However, Jake added a few missing puzzles to my plan and helped me accelerate my income tremendously in just a few weeks. He could see what I was missing and helped me to make the right decisions and changes. It wasn't always easy, but it was worth it.
Jake helped me change my life when I felt lost. I decided to work with him because I wanted to change my career path. With his genuine personality and sense of humour, I instantly connected with him. He helped me find my new way, and I am now doing what I always wanted to do, but wasn't brave enough to try. Jake believed in me when I doubted every action and feeling I had. He pushed me to my limits, so I had to break them, and to my surprise, I did.
There aren't any words that could describe how much Jake has supported me through his coaching. His knowledge, experience, and professionalism are to be admired. He will always go the extra mile to help you achieve your goals. The new approach and tools I now have, enable me to have a much stronger focus and plan to action in achieving my deepest dreams. I also like his (sometimes brutal) honesty and speaking the "truth", exactly how it is. Only a coach can tell you what you have to fix to get better results. He doesn't just cheerlead his clients through the highs, but also through the challenges. I decided to extend his services to another few months for other problems and goals. I look forward to working with you again and again.
Jake offers an excellent service. It is incomplex and at the same time full of wisdom. He was able, in a straightforward way, to help me find my inner truth. At the same time, he inspires, not only through his fantastic support, faith, and confidence but also with his contagious vibrancy and beautiful personality. My self-belief and determination have soared. I can honestly say since coaching with Jake, my life has never been lovely. I wholeheartedly recommend him as your life coach!
Coaching sessions with Jake were life-changing. Even after one or two sessions, there were absolute and distinct differences in my thinking and in the actions that I took in my business and day-to-day life. In addition to confidence, he helped me develop valuable sales and communication skills that helped me grow my business. He made me find ways to overcome my limiting beliefs. Jake opened up the doors to those talents and ideas that had never crossed my mind before. He is truly a fantastic example and representative of the coaching industry. I now know for sure that working with a coach can not only multiply your productivity but also give you more freedom and help achieve incredible business goals.
Jake! The only thing I can say is THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! You have changed my life for the better. Finally, I feel like I am alive. Thank you for showing me that I can do what I always wanted to do.
Choosing to work with Jake has been one of my best decisions. I was a little bit doubtful about life coaching. However, I decided to give it a go after the first session with this amazing man, and I was blown away by his style and knowledge. He's helped me to clarify my vision, find exactly what I want from life, lay out the path for my future, and gain new insight into how to carry out my life goals. All our coaching sessions were run in both a professional and friendly manner. However, Jake likes to get to the core of every problem and could be strict and firm, but only to help you get your best. Most importantly, he helped me overcome my eating disorder problem. He has changed my entire life. It was a privilege to work with him.
Jake is a great coach. My sessions with him were fantastic and open minded. I thought I knew a lot, but he gave a lesson that we can not ever stop learning and getting better. Jake is very intelligent, alert and unique. He looks through people to find the right path for everyone he works with. He is very experienced and I'm truly grateful for the support he gave us to work through this troubling time. He is definitely made for being a life coach.
Working with Jake gave me tremendous confidence and motivation. He is an excellent coach, and I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for one. He took me from talented but with a lack of confidence and self-belief to a bold athlete. He has taught me to dream big dreams, aim to the top and to be the best. Now I am interested only in the 1st place - second place is the first place among the last ones.
Getting a coach was one of my best decisions in life! If you are hesitating, please STOP! In my case in a few short months, I went from procrastinating and agonising over taking my next step, to putting myself out there and succeeding! It was an amazing and profound experience. Jake is intuitive and positive. And most importantly, he doesn't waste time. His style is an excellent balance of “let's get things done” and also creative and exploratory. He seems to know when to focus on the concrete goals and when to explore our motivations and feelings.
Jake is a charming coach to work with. He is not only a great listener but also very generous with his time when needed. He is very determined to help you with achieving your best version of yourself. He helps you assert yourself and take daily actions in order to complete your goal. He helped me reveal my inside genius and also discover that I am really able to be successful in all areas of my life. Jake helped me a lot. I was in a very stuck position when I met Jake. Thanks to his magic, I am on my way of taking on the whole world! He has helped me to discover ways to improve many areas of my life and he has helped me to create the foundation for my new future, the things I would never think could happen to me.
Jake coached and mentored me through the first phases of my internet company. He is a very talented, knowledgeable and experienced businessman. I cannot speak highly enough about him and his incredible help. Jake helped me a lot by merely believing in me and my business. My confidence soared through the roof from the very first chat with this brilliant man. He helped me set up my own online fashion business, and it is running very successfully now. Thank you for your impressive help. Keep doing what you are doing!
I can highly recommend Jake and his excellence services. He helped, mentored me and coached me to take me and my business to the next level. And then another and another one. I can not thank him enough!
Before my coaching sessions with Jake, I was in a terrible position. My relationship was in a bad state, my feelings and sense of self-worth were very low, and I was barely able to stay emotionally stable. I hated my job and my whole life. However, since working with Jake, I've become much stronger, my self-belief went through the roof, and I know how valuable I am. I have found a company I love to work for, and my relationships with others are much more profound and exciting.
I have just one word to describe this guy: Phenomenal! Jake gave me the tools, insights, and courage to chase my real dreams. Thanks to life coaching with Jake, my life has changed dramatically! I am now on my way to realise my biggest dreams and goals. The techniques Jake has given me are life-changing. Jake is the best coach I have ever met.
